Subject: Re: Brake overhaul - brake rods
If you want to source suitable brake rod material in the UK quickly it might be an idea to canabalise Model A Ford brake rods, which I managed to get off the shelf from Belcher Engineering in the past for my Model A Ford.
NB: Any threads on these would be "American" UNF rather than the BSF threads on the Lagonda but they are 5/16 inch dia and the main Model A brake rods are about 4 ft long.
There are a number of other UK suppliers for Model A parts such as Oneillvintageford.co.uk who list two available ( made in the USA) on their web site at £20 each
If you decide to use metric rod remember you will need to cut 5/16 BSF thread on the end to match the Lagonda fittings
Hope that helps
